Like Ecology? Looking for a cool science job? Sevilleta LTER program is hiring a new member of our field crew to work on long-term field ecology projects with a great team of scientists. see https://t.co/f4JR95k7Yc for more and apply at https://t.co/7BBwlu3sWp
Looking to connect your students with virtual field opportunities? Check out this upcoming 'Live from the Field' event next Mon to interact live with researchers studying grasslands ecology. Hosted by @OBFSFieldBio & featuring LTER scientists! https://t.co/id6EZlHIsW
@SEVLTER
Great new study leveraging LT data to model population dynamics of cholla cactus under climate change!! Complete with plot twists, unexpected results, and a cliffhanger requiring still more LT data….
Finally done!! We sampled 8 @SEVLTER expts in 3 days and processed everything in 4 🤯 we’re hoping to characterize cyanos & #fungi in #biocrusts & roots and how they respond to warming, precip, drought & #nitrogen manipulations 🌾🦠🍄🧬🧫
Great job alert: Data Manager for Natural Heritage NM, an applied conservation biology program within the Museum of Southwestern Biology @UNM.
Apply by July 15! Please help us spread the word.

Today I learned about 3 research projects at the Sevilleta Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, on a tour with UNM scientists Jennifer Rudgers & Marcy Litvak. The research involves climate warming, drought & delayed monsoons-important for responding to climate variability
